@mention people in comments
Sometimes while adding a comment you need to be sure that a particular person will read it. Just mention the person you need in your comment and he'll get an email notification. It is very similar to Twitter mentions. Type @ sign with the first letters of user's name, then you will see a list of matching people. Select one you want. You can mention several people in a single comment for sure.
When you reply to a comment, a person who added the comment will be auto mentioned.
A person who was mentioned in the comment will receive an email notification with a full comment text:
Programs improvements
In this release following improvements were made for programs:
More card units
More units are available for Program Card: Total projects, Open User Stories, Open / Total User Stories, Open Features, Open / Total Features, Open Bugs, Open / Total Bugs:
Basic progress calculation
Program progress can be tracked in following ways:
- Open / total User Stories counter unit. Shows all stories from all projects inside a program
- Progress percentage unit. Counts the percent of User Stories in Done state
- Progress bar unit with Progress in %
- Progress bar on a Program View with a tooltip displaying the number of stories completed:
Program in filters
You can easily find all entities, like User Stories, Features or Bugs, that relate to a specific Program:
Program selector for new Projects
We added a possibility to select a Program while creating a Project:
Highlight possible drop state for dragged entity
Have you ever put an entity into the wrong state on a Board view? We are helping you to avoid this, take a look at the Board while you are dragging an entity, some of the columns marked with more solid tone of grey color. Don't try to put a card there 🙂
Auto assign User Story to the same Release as its Feature
Now User Story will inherit Release field from its Feature, if it has one. In other words, Release field of a new user Story will be set from Release field of its parent Feature. Also it should be noted that changing Release field in a feature will affect only child User Stories in non final state. It means all completed User Stories stay in the old Release.
Show people on Board from selected Teams only
Previously, when you select Person as a lane on a board, you see all people from projects or teams. Now it shows just people from selected teams. We believe this behavior is more logical.
Minor Improvements
- Bugzilla 4.4 support added
- Priority attribute of Features and User Stories renamed to Business Value
- Support <pre> tag in the description and comments
- "Pair" option for roles is removed
